Reverse Graffiti

Alexandre Orion is a Brazilian tagger that got famous doing clean tags of skulls in a tunnel of Sao Paulo.

The concept can not be easier, with a rag and some water, Alexandre removed the black dust from the dirty walls of the tunnel, and there it goes.

Obviously the police cannot arrest anyone for cleaning up the city..

And how did the city council get rid of the tag? ... By cleaning up the whole tunnel!

It happened in 2007, but it took quite some time to get to my ears ^^

Joy of Destruction

A -somehow- sweet pastel movie displaying what is wrong with humans to start with: we just love destroying things.

Yes, I have jumped on sand castles.

but it was at the end of the day.

all kids gone.

please forgive me..

Warning - if watching a unicorn getting shot might bring you to tears,

( i wouldn't blame you, i hate too those suckers who decimated them)

then don't watch this:

But as they say, the end can be a start, right?

...right?

Sweet and sour

Isn't it when it looks the sweetest that meanness really strikes?

For example, the macabre snow-globes previoulsy presented...oor, sardonic porcelains from Barnaby Barford.
They coud look innocent..just until you read the title.
Precious and vicious.

Nice to meet you, Edward!

I'm a big fan of Tim Burton. I know it is getting quite common to like him now that he's so famous. And I don't like common things. But still. I'll always remember how fascinated I was when I saw "Vincent" short film at the cinema, just before "Nightmare before Christmas". It was the first time I saw darkness in an animated cartoon.

And now, after a whole cruel period of ignorance, I just discover -thanks to the TV program Tracks on Arte- Edward Gorey, an illustrator who influenced Mr Burton and who.. how to put it in some elegant terms... rocks da house.

Enjoy!

Gorey became particularly well-known through his animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery! in 1980:
